FB: Midwest Conference

[kiltman85]

The backup QB is looking pretty good right now against the top D in the conference so far this year.  GO SCOTS!!!!

Scots win 38-7 (I think).   The MC broadcast crew could use a little "constructive criticism."

early stats from the MC-Carroll game...


Rushing-- Crocker, 109   
                Daniels, 114

Passing-- Mundt, 273 yards, 2 TDs

Recieving-- Haffner, 10 catches 191 yards and 2 TDs



Great game out of the freshman at QB and the defense looked strong all day

What happened at Norbert today???  Only 14-7 against Lake Forest.  I realize that Lake Forest has a pretty good defense, but only 14 points?

Beloit-Knox wound up between the 7-6 and my 67-60 prediction at 32-22 and was a pretty decent game to see despite the weather. 3rd play from scrimmage set the tone however as Knox intercepted and waltzed in from 15 yards (or thereabouts) for a 6-0 lead. PAT failed. Didn't see the snap but noticed everybody scrambling for the ball around the 35 so I'm guessing the center air mailed one.

Couple big plays later and it was 19-0. Beloit made it 19-14 just before the half but couldn't move the chains, once forced into a passing situation Knox pinned their ears back and got another pick. This set them up in excellent field position and they scored quickly to go to the locker room with a 25-14 advantage. Nothing happened in the 3rd quarter and each scored once in the 4th for the 32-22 final.

Nice effort on Beloits part to battle back from the early adversity but their size disadvantage on the offensive and defensive lines is glaring. Not sure what you do about that.

115 yards in penalties
2 interceptions
1 lost fumble
rain throughout the 2nd half
Purtill said the officiating was bad in Lake Forest's favor but I heard they also missed a couple of holding calls on SNC.

Who is picked to win the MWC this year?
My second question is why is it that the Wisconsin MWC schools except for Ripon and SNC don't want to play the WIAC schools. We are all int eh state of Wisconsin and we are all division three why won't they play the WIAC.
IF YOU WANNA BE THE EBST YOUR GOTTA BEAT THE BEST,and the WIAC is the best d3 conference in Wisconsin.

I am a former MWC player and fan of the MWC.   Bu when it comes to the talent  level at the schools in MWC and the schools in the WIAC they can't be compared.  WIAC schools would not schedule the MWC schools for the fact that they want to play tougher competition.  Mind you, the MWC is getting stronger as a conference as a whole, but they are a little bit back.

Now not to sat that a MWC school can't beat a WIAC school, i.e. St. Norberts vs Lacrosse a few years ago.  However the odds are not in our favor.    I think that all MWC schools would like to play tougher non-conference games, but many of them won't schedule with us until we prove that they are a quality program. via WArtburg, Monmouth, Nubs, Oshkosh.

Mitch Tanney worked out for the Philadelphia Eagles this week...pretty impressive

Here's the article from the award winning MC Sports Information staff...  http://www.monm.edu/sportsinfo/releases/2006/football.tanney.09-22-06.htm

It is waaaaaaaaaay to early for BU/SJU predictions. I understand that you all love trash-talking, but lets let some weeks go by before we get too riled up. But since we already are predicting monkey stomps, I might as well put my two cents in.


SJU 27
Bethel 7

St. Johns scores three touchdowns on drives of less than 45 yards after Bethel offense turns it over, giving the Johnnies a short field. The BU defense, being on the field for 42 out of 60 minutes, cant do it all. The other Johnnie touchdown comes on an interception return. That way we have the required 4 turnovers per game by Bethel.

BU defense....  Wha???  wrong discussion I think...

[BUdefense]

yep def wrong board, gotta pay better attention

[fightintitan2006]

DOC Little,

You answered your own question in one of your recent posts about why MWC teams don't schedule WIAC teams, when you said Whitewater made Lakeland look like a bad high school team a few years ago.

The only reason I could see for Ripon signing a four-year deal with Oshkosh is to save money or at least I hope that's the reason. If I were Ripon's coach, I would have no problem opening the season with a 57-0 loss to an IIAC or CCIW school, at least in that case it would be a school that is fairly similar in size and values.

So Greg Pawlick is now Meachscribe?

His being a writer must account for SNC getting 1 vote in the top 25....

How are all the Scots doing this year!!!!  Remember Hamm's is better than Bud Light!

[kiltman85]

We are all doing well down here in good 'ole Monmouth.  It's been a fun year so far
